The re-run election will only take place in seven polling units where the results were cancelled.

In announcing the result of the inconclusive election, the INEC Returning Joseph Afuwape said on Sunday afternoon that “Senator Ademola Adeleke, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), polled254,699, while his closest challenger, Isiaka Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress (APC) had 254,345 votes.”

“Since the total number of cancelled votes (3,486) exceeds the difference between the two leading parties (353), Afuwape said it was impossible for him to declare any party as the winner.”

“Thursday’s supplementary contest will be a straight battle between Adeleke and Oyetola, as the rerun will hold only in the seven polling units where results were cancelled,” he said.
